right behind me

What do I do? What do I say?
Is it really wrong to take what I may?
There's too many questions
I'm watching it all circle the drain
Taking the loss, to make it a gain
Whatever comes after (Ooh)
It's all a matter of time
I did the math and its the only thing that's been on my mind (Ooh)
Come whatever, it's now or never
I'll make it better

I've been chasing the future
Forgot the life right behind me
Now I'm stuck in the present
Wanting more for, this to end, and I
Don't have that much time
I've been chasing the future
How do I know
Which way I should go?

(Almost there)
Had to switch my energy
Ducking past my enemies
All these so-called friends want the end of me
(I've been too down)
And they want the best of me
I'm big on tit for tat
Without clapping back
Throw a jab with my inner peace, I'm–
(Letting it go)
Take the shackles off me
(Closin' my eyes)
Put this weight behind me
(Live in the sun)
Let this love surround me
(Almost there)
The sound of myrrh and freedom

I've been swept by the waves that were left in your grace
And I don't really think I'm lost I just feel out of place
And as I listen to these calls that were caught in your wake
I get lost in all the talk like there's something to say
Ooh, I'll see
I'm locked up, knocked down
I'm starstruck when you're next to me
Who are we?
We're lost souls and I'm shown
As time slows down when what's left of me

I've been chasing the future
Forgot the life right behind me
Now I'm stuck in the present
Wanting more, for this to end

I've been chasing the future
Forgot the life right behind me
Now I'm stuck in the present
Wanting more for, this to end, and I
Don't have that much time
I've been chasing the future
How do I know
Which way I should go?
